Highlights
- Reliable securement: Adhesive delivers strong securement, adhering medical tubes such as urinary catheters and surgical drain tubes to skin for up to 4 days (1)
- Skin performance: Designed to help reduce the risk of pressure injury with no hard plastic components and a unique shape to minimise contact between skin and tube
- Skin performance: Designed to deliver the securement power you need while minimising damage to skin upon removal; removes cleanly from skin without removal agent
- Easy-to-use: Easy to apply and remove; allows for standardisation of technique
- Sterile device in single-use packaging
- Secures a variety of non-critical medical tubes and catheters made from silicone, PVC and silicone coated latex to skin, spanning 6-24 French
The 3M™ Tube Securement Device delivers strong securement and skin performance in an easy-to-use solution. Designed to support medical adhesive-related skin injury (MARSI) and pressure injury prevention practices, it is gentle to skin and is indicated for non-critical tube securement or in conjunction with sutures, primary securement dressings or urinary catheter balloons per facility protocol.
3M™ Tube Securement Device
The 3M™ Tube Securement Device delivers strong securement and skin performance in an easy-to-use solution. It minimises the damage to skin and is designed to support pressure injury prevention practices for a variety of medical tube and catheter applications. With no hard plastic components to cause pressure, the securement device’s unique shape minimises contact between skin and tube.
-
Select the small device (1500U) to secure 6-12 Fr medical tubes and catheters.
-
Select the large device (1501U) to secure 12-24 Fr medical tubes and catheters.
When it comes to tube securement selection, there are a variety of factors to keep in mind, including securement performance, skin protection and clinician ease of use.
Consider the results of this comparative study on urinary catheter securement: A comparison of the 3M™ Tube Securement Device to the StatLock® Foley Stabilisation Device.(2)
-
Wear time:Dependability and length of wear are important in choosing the right device. The 3M™ Tube Securement Device had a statistically higher percentage of devices with the tube in place after a 72-hour wear than StatLock® Foley Stabilisation Device.*
*As tested in a comparative, prospective clinical study on 24 healthy human subjects after 3 days of wear followed by device removal from skin per IFU.
**Devices with tubes secured after 72 hours.
-
Skin integrity:Skin is the body’s first line of defence, so it is important to protect it. Consider this comparison of the impact on the skin’s barrier function (measured by average change in Transepidermal Water Loss (TEWL) from pre-treatment).*
*Than StatLock® Foley Stabilisation Device after 3 days of wear (P=0.037).
**3M™ Tube Securement Device’s impact on the skin’s barrier function (median TEWL change from baseline) was 63% less.
-
Removal time:Efficient removal is critical when clinician time is limited. The average removal time for 3M™ Tube Securement Device was 13 seconds compared to 126 seconds for StatLock® Foley Stabilisation Device (P<.0001).*
*As tested in a comparative, prospective clinical study on 24 healthy human subjects after 3 days of wear followed by device removal from skin per IFU.
**On average, for the 3M™Tube Securement Device compared to the StatLock® Foley Stabilisation Device
-
Wipes for removal:Extra supplies can add time and cost to a procedure. On average, the StatLock® Foley Stabilisation Device required 12 alcohol wipes for removal, while the 3M™ Tube Securement Device does not require a removal agent.*
*As tested in a comparative, prospective clinical study on 24 healthy human subjects after 3 days of wear followed by device removal from skin per IFU.
**Average number of wipes used for removal.
Suggested applications
- Indicated for non-critical tube securement or in conjunction with sutures, primary securement dressings and/or urinary catheter balloons per facility protocol
